#Chapter369
Fighting back
Lakin
I followed what the doctor recommended. If we wanted normalcy, we had to let Mia learn everything. That meant pushing her and not treating her like a child. But, of course, that’s easier said than done.
The more we pushed, the more she fought until she looked at me in front of everyone and said, /"I hate you!/"
That surprised everyone as I turned and said, /"Good, I hope it's a long, hard hate. You’re not a child, Mia. A hateful prick injured you. Don’t let him hurt you anymore. Fight./" I was firm with her.
Mia needed to know the world wasn’t all rainbow and sunshine.
I took her hands in mine. /"You can do this. I know you can. You’ve come so far. Show them they can’t win. Show them you’re my Mia./"
